Tali has always been one of my favorite characters since the first game. so you can kinda tell how disappointed i was with the whole stock photo thing. like mentioned in my sketch, i drew her in a more fitting setting with some tiny changes.

looking back at the artbooks of Mass Effect, they had a lot of interesting ideas for Tali's (quarian) face. for this piece i just blended some of the concepts i thought would work well with the face Bioware shows in the photo. she doesn't look much alien like i'd like her to be, but i think she came out complementing both the concept art and final product.

ha, i just realized that this picture wouldn't make much sense either. unless Shepard has a built-in camera on her omni-tool or something. oh well.

good work"unless Shepard has a built-in camera on HER omni-tool" - how did you get the scene with tali's photo?It's quite logical that Tali is not on that photo. Do you really think that she will risk getting sick for one picture? I think she would have taken someones picture and make it look like her.(am I the only one who think that person on ingame picture looks like miranda)

Wow just Wow you Outdone yourself this is just Amazing & Beautiful I have no Words for it & Yes I absolutely hated the photoshop stock photo made me so Mad that an Important Character like Tali would be insulted like that >: (I think you done an Excellent Job with the Sketches of Tali Face from the Artbook

Nicely done. And really, how hard would it have been for Bioware to actually make a mesh of her face for ME3, anyway? I wish they didn't take such a lazy route with her unmasking, but hey, she's still my favorite ME character regardless.

theere's 3 words that summarize ME3: mess mess mess. Audio engine almost nonexistent, reaper invasion on earth extremely underwhelming and oversimplified and I heard the ending's shit, but I didnt get there yet(dang i should move it). I would get offended if I had to miss Javik if I didn't have the DLC.

To note, Shepard's omni tool does have a camera. It's used in one of the Citadel side quests. So wonder no more.

Interesting that you had a similar idea to me, using the concept(s) from the art book to try your hand at a face concept. Though I made mine before ME3 came out. Wanted to see how close I could get if/before there was an official rendition.

Pretty good, just one thing does she have ears? Tali never really looks all that well with ears too similar to humans. I don't like Tali being an outright space elf. None of the other aliens have ears after all.

yes the stock model picture just doesn't fit with the rest of the characterhi we are aliens with 3 fingers and 2 toes oh yeah and somewhat digigrade legs but we got faces like models.......sorry bioware you screwed the pooch

It's not like the stock photo was the worst part though... Amazing drawing. Once I got to that part I immediately called my friend. (Earlier he told me that he royally messed up on that mission). I like my version better :3

You know...I really, REALLY wish tali had been some kind of horror under there...like from the neck up she was just tentacles with two eyestalks. Just SOMETHING to hold off the "Quarians are space elves" idea that's been going around....

OH and i think every time Tali took off her mask especially the romance scene, we should have seen her face and how she looks. I love the pic but theres no exception for not being able to see her face whenever she takes off her helmet

beautiful job on this and really love the eyes i think she and all Quarians should have like facial markings/ tattoos like with the ones Turians and Asari have but my theory is how Quarians have tougher skin and they have markings on their ships and buildings so i could see them having markings on their faces to represent families and ships and what not
